Leap Year Status

Year 2023 is a non-leap year, with 365 days. The latest prior leap year occurred in 2020 and the next will be in 2024. The reason for the leap year is to reconcile the earth's orbit around the sun. By adding days to the year the seasons stay in step with the month's for each year. More information on Leap Year. This web site uses the Gregorian date system, which uses leap years.
